Frequently asked questions

Can the company give additional support?

Yes. The application form lets you add a voluntary support contribution.

Is the fee tax-deductible?

The tax office in Sankt Augustin has recognized the DGM as a non-profit association for the support of science (assessment notice of October 2, 2020). Donations and membership fees are therefore deductible as special expenses under German tax law.

How can the company end its membership?

In writing, with three months' notice to the end of the membership year. All obligations to the DGM must have been settled.
